Scans from Mike Carey's new fantasy series for Vertigo, The Unwritten.

Tommy Taylor is the young, Harry Potter-ish hero of an extremely popular series of children's books.

Tom Taylor is the now adult inspiration for the character, and the son of the missing author. He makes a living on the convention circuit. He's polite to his fans, but he's uncomfortable living in the shadow of his father's creation--the young "him" who never existed.

But Tom is more fictional than he realizes.

Tom's life quickly becomes much more complicated.

This looks like a promising series, especially if you're a book nerd (like I am). The first issue is only $1 for 32 pages, so it's worth the look!
